Leadership Should be Elected by Who We Choose to Work for and What we Choose To Buy, Not the Electoral Vote

Electing Leadership Through One Man One Vote is Outdated

This post is going to set up an experiment in thought, to look into an idea that will astonish most people - that one man one vote is an ancient and outdated system which should be modified for present day conditions.

Would you say its true that we all vote many times daily for the leadership which is getting delivered. 

e.g. by who we chose to buy things from, sell things to and who we choose to work for... 

Today these things are far more significant to democracy than a de facto electoral vote during a general election. In who gains the strings of Power.

That is, government in Power are influenced far more by the lobby than they were historically. So much so that Power no longer really listens to the electoral voter . Preferring the lobby.

This might not be corruption or wrong per se. Because the lobby tends to represent all the employees who work for them to a very large degree. And buyers and sellers in every exchange, do so, because one presumes they like the goods and services they're buying and stand to gain more for what they sell than it cost them to produce, else the exchange would not take place.

Clearly all these actions are free choice. No one can force you to buy stuff. And you would never sell your goods for less than they cost to produce, except in the short term to buy the market. A third party can only stand in the way of who you trade with, which its true is a big problem still particularly the tariff. But though big its still small relative to what does freely get bought and sold.

And what is freely bought and sold or who one chooses to work for or employ is a far bigger factor in 'selecting' rather than electing an nations leadership today. 

Just as big a benefit to this idea is that these free and deliberate choices are made multiple times daily by every citizen being represented. Rather than once every 4 or 5 years. So state actions can be far more confident about what people actually want. 

Sure, it might not be a good thing either, so tell me why not in the comments and we can discuss.

I don't think we should fear this. Elections were made in times where people had little choice about their work and rarely bought things relative to today.

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
